Cartoon: 5 Things Congress Says When It Plans To Cut Social Security | Patreon
Drawing five random characters (or semi-random, in this case, since they all had to be plausibly the sort of person who could be in Congress and seeking to cut Social Security) is always fun. In this case, to make them … Continue reading

Cartoon: The Time Before Gender Ideology
This cartoon is drawn by my so-frequent-we-call-each-other-comics-spouses collaborator Becky Hawkins, who writes: This cartoon combines two of my favorite things: period settings and making fun of gender norms! I had a blast (and took a trip down memory lane) looking … Continue reading
